"You'll never miss the water 'till
the well runs dry," the old familiar
saying, is being forcibly brought, to
the minds of the residents of Omaha
who have for the past two days been
suffering from the lack of good, clean
water, caused by the Missouri river
cutting" a huge bank of soft mud di
rectly into the intake of the munici
pal water plant and where it has
been sucked into the mains of the
water company and has been making
the water supply of the metropolis
a very thin mud stream.
The condition is demanding
prompt action and today a special
train of tank cars over the Burling
ton was sent to Plattsmouth and the
train filled with a supply of the good
water that comes from the local wa
ter plant and sent to Omaha to be
used by the railroad in caring for its
needs.
Showing the condition In Omaha
all of the laundries there have been
compelled to close down and many
of the large packing plants may have
to follow 6Uit, the only that are safa
being those that have their own sup
ply from wells.
The Omaha city sprinklers and
tanks are being used to supply water
to the hospitals, hotels and restau
rants and the privote citizens are
busy with their autos and trucks in
securing good water from wells and
springs in various parts of teh city
for drinking purposes.
The condition in Omaha shows up
strikingly the fact that Plattemouth
is most fortunate in. having a fine
water supply plant that secures ita
water from deep bored wells and
which will be found as good as any
place in the state, and pure and
wholesome in every way.
AEKIVAL OF LITTLE DAUGHTER
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Kaffenberger near Cedar Creek wta

Letters received from the Chase
family in Colorado by relatives and
friends here state that the wheat
rop in that section of Colorado will
be an eighty per cent loss, according
to the judgment of those acquainted
with the general condition there. In
the past week there were only two
days in which the working force
could be out at their duties in the
field owing to the excessive rains
that prevailed through that part of
the west. The members of the Chase
family 2nd Mr. and Mrs. Hilt Martin
are expecting to return in the next
ten days, however.
